Thank you Rockabilly Donaldo,
Good to see the rockabilly* subculture is still alive and well...
*Rockabilly is one of the earliest styles of rock and roll music, and emerged in the early-1950's.
The term rockabilly is a portmanteau of rock, from rock and roll, and hillbilly, the latter a reference to the country music (often called hillbilly music in the 1940s and '50s) that contributed strongly to the style's development. Other important influences on rockabilly include Western Swing, blues music, boogie woogie, and Jump blues. Although there are notable exceptions, its origins lie primarily in the Southern USA.
The influence and popularity of the style waned in the 1960s. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, rockabilly enjoyed a major revival of popularity that has endured to the present, often within a rockabilly enthusiast subculture.
